DraftFury may require you to provide proof that you are eligible to participate according to this section prior to receiving a prize. This may include requesting that you fill out an affidavit of eligibility. To the extent DraftFury requests that you fill out such an affidavit and you fail to do so within 5 days, or DraftFury otherwise determines that you do not meet the eligibility requirements of this section, in addition to any rights that DraftFury may have in law or equity, DraftFury reserves the right to terminate your account and withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes associated with such account. In such a situation, DraftFury will pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to the other entrants in the relevant contest in a manner consistent with the prize structure of the contest, to be precisely determined by DraftFury in its sole discretion.

In the event DraftFury determines that you have opened, maintained, used or controlled more than one account, in addition to any other rights that DraftFury may have, DraftFury reserves the right to suspend or terminate any or all of your accounts and terminate, withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes.

DraftFury employees may use the Service for the purpose of testing the user experience, but may not withdraw money or prizes. DraftFury consultants or promoters of the Service may play in contests without such limitation, but only if their arrangement with DraftFury does not permit them to have any access to non-public Service data or any other data not made available to all players on the Service.

Team owners, referees, league employees, sports commissioners and other individuals who through an ownership interest or game-related employment can influence the gameplay are likewise ineligible.

4. Conditions of Participation

Registration

In order to participate in a contest on the Service, you must register for an account. By registering as a user of the Service, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted (such information being the “Registration Data”) and maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or DraftFury has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is inaccurate, not current or incomplete, DraftFury may deny you access to areas requiring registration, or terminate your account, at its sole discretion.

Account Password and Security

At the time of registration for online account access, you must provide a valid email address and supply a Username and Password to be used in conjunction with your account. You may not use a Username that promotes a commercial venture or a Username that DraftFury in its sole discretion deems offensive. Many portions of the Service require registration for access (the “Restricted Areas”). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Username and Password, and are fully responsible for all uses of your Username and Password, whether by you or others. You agree to (a) never to use the same Password for the Service that you use or have ever used outside of the Service; (b) keep your Username and Password confidential and not share them with anyone else; (c) immediately notify DraftFury of any unauthorized use of your Username and Password or account or any other breach of security; and (d) use only your own Username and Password to access the Service’s Restricted Areas. DraftFury cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

You acknowledge and agree that DraftFury is authorized to act on instructions received through the use of your Username and Password, and that DraftFury may, but is not obligated to, deny access or block any transaction made through use of your Username and Password without prior notice if we believe your Username and Password are being used by someone other than you, or for any other reason.

DraftFury may require you to change your Username or may unilaterally change your Username.

Communications and Information Practices

As a result of your registration for the Service, you may receive certain commercial communications from DraftFury. You understand and agree that these communications are part of your registration, and that, to the extent required by law, you may opt out of receiving these communications at any time by either using the unsubscribe functionality or sending an email to support@draftfury.com. Following such an opt-out, we may still communicate with you via email to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Disqualification and Cancellation

DraftFury reserves that right to cancel contests, in its sole discretion, without any restrictions. DraftFury may disqualify you from a contest or the entire Service, refuse to award fantasy points or prizes and require the return of any prizes, or suspend or terminate your account if you engage in conduct DraftFury deems, in its sole discretion, to be improper, unfair or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Service or in any way detrimental to other users. Improper conduct includes, but is not limited to: falsifying personal information required to use the Service or claim a prize; entering contests, and/or accumulating points or prizes through unauthorized methods such as automated scripts or other automated means; tampering with the administration of the Service or trying to in any way tamper with the computer programs associated with the Service; obtaining other entrants’ information and spamming other entrants; and abusing the Service in any way; or otherwise violating these Terms. You acknowledge that the forfeiture and/or return of any prize shall in no way prevent DraftFury from pursuing criminal or civil proceedings in connection with such conduct. Further, the Service MAY NOT BE USED FOR ANY FORM OF GAMBLING.

If for any reason the Service is not running as originally planned (e.g., if DraftFury becomes corrupted or does not allow the proper usage and processing of entries in accordance with the rules, or if infection by a computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, actions by entrants, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes of any kind, in the sole opinion of DraftFury corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Service), DraftFury reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual implicated in or relating to the cause and/or to cancel, terminate, extend, modify or suspend the Service, and select the winner(s) from all eligible entries received. If such cancellation, termination, modification or suspension occurs, DraftFury will provide notice to affected users.

The failure of DraftFury to comply with any provision of these Terms due to an act of God, hurricane, war, fire, riot, earthquake, terrorism, act of public enemies, actions of governmental authorities outside of the control of DraftFury or other force majeure event will not be considered a breach of these Terms.

DraftFury is not affiliated with or sponsored by the National Basketball Association, National Football League, or Major League Baseball.

Publicity

By entering a contest, you consent to DraftFury’s and its business partners’, use of your name, voice, likeness, and photograph in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or marketing and promotion of the selected contest and/or other DraftFury contests and DraftFury generally, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Contest winners agree that, from the date of notification of their status as a potential winner, and continuing until such time when notified that they no longer need to do so, they will make themselves available to DraftFury for up to 50 hours (or a higher quantity where specified by the rules of particular contests) of publicity, advertising and promotional activities relating to the contest or other DraftFury products, services or events, without additional compensation. DraftFury and its business partners reserve the right to make public statements about the entrants and winner(s), on-air, on the Internet, or otherwise, prior to, during, or following the contest. Entrants agree that DraftFury may announce any winner's name on-air or on any of its websites or any other location at any time in connection with the marketing and promotion of DraftFury or other contests or games operated by DraftFury. You agree that participation in and (where applicable) the winning of a prize in connection with a contest constitute complete compensation for your obligations under this paragraph, and you agree not to seek, to charge a fee, or impose other conditions on the fulfillment of these obligations. The rules specific to certain contests may contain additional publicity obligations or may require a written signature on a separate publicity waiver.

5. Game Rules

Game of Skill

DraftFury is a game of skill. Winners are determined by the criteria stated in each contest’s rules. For each contest, winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant professional sports information and fantasy sports rules to accumulate the most fantasy points. Fantasy points are accumulated through the performance of individual athletes across multiple sports events. All entries in DraftFury’s contests must be made up of players drawn from a minimum of two sporting events.

Entry Fees

Each DraftFury contest has an entry fee listed in US dollars. When you enter a paid-entry contest, the entry fee for the contest will be debited from your DraftFury account. Then, follow the links and instructions provided for the contest entry. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the person submitting an entry, the entry will be deemed submitted by the person in whose Username the entry was submitted, or if possession of the Username itself is contested and in DraftFury’s opinion sufficiently uncertain, the name in which the email address on file was registered with the email service provider. DraftFury reserves the right not to award a prize to an individual it believes in its sole discretion did not submit the winning entry.

Contest Term

DraftFury offers contests for multiple professional sports events generally taking place on a single day or at most a week.

Prizes

After each contest ends, the tentative winners are announced (generally by the following day) but remain subject to final verification. Players in each contest who accumulate the most fantasy points and have met the eligibility requirements and have complied with the applicable rules will win prizes as set out in the posted contest details. Prizes are added to the winning player(s)’ account balance. In the event of a tie, the prize is divided evenly between the tied players, unless otherwise specified.

DraftFury offers a number of different types of contests. For each contest, we announce the entry fees and prizes in advance on the contest page. For a summary of entry fees and prizes for currently open contests please login and visit the main lobby.

Prize calculations are based on the results as of the time when final scoring is tabulated by DraftFury. Once winners are initially announced by DraftFury, the scoring results will not be changed in light of official adjustments made by the professional leagues, though we reserve the right to make adjustments based on errors or irregularities in the transmission of information to us from our stats provider or in our calculation of results. We also may make adjustments in the event of noncompliance with the Terms. DraftFury has no obligation to delay the awarding of a prize in anticipation of any adjustment, and we reserve the right to reverse payments in the event of any adjustment. You agree to cooperate with our efforts to reverse payments.

No substitution or transfer of a prize is permitted. All taxes associated with the receipt or use of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of the Contest is challenged by any legal authority, DraftFury reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award or adjust such prizes. In all disputes arising out of the determination of the winner of DraftFury contests, DraftFury is the sole judge and its actions are final and binding.

Notification

Winners are generally posted after the conclusion of each contest by 10AM ET on the following day. Winners may be required to complete an affidavit of eligibility, a publicity agreement, and appropriate tax forms by a specified deadline. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in disqualification. Any prize notification returned as undeliverable may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner.

Taxation

Any player based in the United States or Canada having earned USD $600 or more (net of all entry fees) in the previous calendar year must provide his or her name, address, government issued photo ID, and Social Security Number (if applicable) to DraftFury upon request. These details will be used to issue you a 1099-MISC or 1042-S. DraftFury reserves the right to withhold (from your existing account balance and/or from your future net earnings) any amount required to be withheld by law. You remain solely responsible for paying all taxes in accordance with the laws of your local government, state, province, or country of residence.

Bonuses and Promotions

From time to time, DraftFury may offer bonuses or promotions to incentivize users to play on DraftFury. Any bonus or promotion that has a play-through release requirement will be first credited to the user’s Fury Bonus account until the requirements for release have been met. You may view your Fury Bonus balance under your Account Details.

Funds in the user’s Pending Bonus account have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn, used for paid-entry contests, or otherwise redeemed, until they are released to the user’s main DraftFury account balance. Fury Bonus funds are released incrementally, in accordance with the rules of the bonus or promotion from which the Fury Bonus funds originated.

DraftFury reserves the right to issue bonuses and promotions on a case-by-case basis. Your Fury Bonus funds have no date of expiration. DraftFury reserves the right to retract user bonuses or promotions at any time if it determines, in its sole discretion, that there has been fraud or abuse.

Withdrawals

For withdrawals, we require a valid mailing address and social security number in order to file the appropriate tax forms we are required to file at year end.

Prior to authorizing a withdrawal, we may review your account to check with compliance with these Terms, the 7-Level Referral Program Terms & Conditions, including anti-fraud checks on playing patterns and deposits. We may request additional information before permitting a withdrawal.

15. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT

Initial Dispute Resolution

Our Customer Support Department is available to address any concerns you may have regarding the Service via support@draftfury.com. Our Customer Service Department is able to resolve most concerns quickly to our players’ satisfaction. The parties shall use their best efforts through this Customer Service process to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Arbitration, Consent to Jurisdiction in California, Attorney’s Fees

Any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), or any use of the Service, shall be settled by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its governing rules and procedures, including the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, where applicable.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. In agreeing to arbitrate, you and DraftFury waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding involving any claim.

The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling AAA at +1 (800) 778-7879. The arbitration rules permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. In some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Location

The parties agree that arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles County, California, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. You and DraftFury agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Los Angeles County, California, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver

The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND DRAFTFURY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

30-Day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to:

DraftFury556 S Fair Oaks Ave#564Pasadena, CA 91105

The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of the Service, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, DraftFury also will not be bound by them.

Changes to This Section

DraftFury will provide 60-days’ notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective on the 60th day, and will apply only to any claims arising after the 60th day.

For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and DraftFury agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located in Los Angeles, California. You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.

If any provision of the Terms is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect.

Statute of Limitations

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Service or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

Section Titles

The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
